A handful of memoirs and travel narratives that I love comprise this handpicked list of books about getting to know Japan, up close and personal. Written for @Shepherd_books https://t.co/pWUKwbzb56 #Japan #book

@writerofscratch @TheRealJapan1 If you want to add an overnight stop to this, you can also spend a night in either Hakone or Shuzenji Onsen, both on the Izu Peninsula, for a little hot-spring escape. Kamakura and Yokohama can be smoothly visited either on the trip down (from Tokyo to Izu) or back.

[Jonathan DeHart @jon_de_hart]

@writerofscratch Seconding many places mentioned here, but would emphasize Kamakura for a worthy stop outside but not far from Tokyo. While you’re at it, stop in Yokohama (try Bashamichi, Noge and around) for dinner on the way back. Thanks for the shout-out @TheRealJapan1 !

[Jonathan DeHart @jon_de_hart]

@bookauthority Many thanks for the honor! 🙏

Well done @jon_de_hart! "Moon Japan" is featured in our list of best Tokyo Travel Guide books of all time! https://t.co/6H10RxyvUS

[Jonathan DeHart @jon_de_hart]

@TheRealJapan1 Absolutely — Nyuto Onsen is among my favorite places for a hot-spring dip in Japan. #onsen #hotspring #Japan #tohoku #travel

Hachimantai: Northern Tohoku’s Next Must-See Destination?

With some of Japan’s most stunning natural landscapes, Hachimantai could be about to leap from the unknown into the essential.

It has been 43 years since publication of Peter Matthiessen's remarkable book "The Snow Leopard," and this elusive, majestic creature still continues to intrigue people throughout the world, as @monkeyrockworld writes in this brilliant piece. https://t.co/2WNfGiNEbK

@benjamingrundy Perhaps even an online market for said organs?

[Martin Kulldorff @MartinKulldorff]

"Japan attracted world notice for neither imposing a lockdown nor obsessively testing asymptomatic people. .. Encouraging people with mild or no symptoms to take PCR tests would have revealed nothing but resulted in isolating false-positive cases."

[Jonathan DeHart @jon_de_hart]

@henrywismayer Sadly, it's totally understandable! Perhaps a book project, or another change of pace that still involves writing for an audience, would be more motivating?

Just shared some thoughts for this article by @tomvater at @NAR on the future of guidebooks in the time of COVID-19. Tough times for travel, but a little cautious optimism can't hurt. #Japan #travel #COVIDー19 #travelguide #tokyo #kyoto #Tokyo2020 https://t.co/0dCppeUmBr
